Origin and historical background

The M109 self-propelled howitzer is one of the most recognizable artillery systems used by armies around the world. Its Israeli version – the M109 DOHER – underwent significant upgrades in the 1990s, receiving modern fire control, communications systems, and engine components. ROCHEV is an earlier variant, being an adaptation of the American M109A1 howitzer to Israeli requirements. Both vehicles have been widely used by the Israeli army from the Cold War era up to the present day, especially during conflicts in the Middle East such as the Yom Kippur War or operations in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.
